The value of Green Star: a decade of environmental benefits
No full textExecutive summary: Since the launch of the Green Star rating system in 2003, hundreds of buildings around Australia have been independently certified for their sustainable design and construction using Green Star rating tools.A large amount of evidence that illustrates the transformative effect of Green Star on sustainability at the individual building level has been collected to date. However before now, no comprehensive quantitative research has been conducted into the overall impact that Green Star has had on Australia\u27s built environment.In late 2012, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) conducted a quantitative research study using data from certified projects to quantify the overall impact of Green Star on greenhouse gas emissions, operational energy usage, operational water consumption and construction and demolition waste.The study utilised data from 428 Green Star certified projects\u27 submissions and compared this data to standard minimum practice benchmarks. The majority of data included in Green Star submissions are estimations of operational performance. There is evidence that confirms such estimates are representative of actual performance. Despite this, it is important to note that many of this study\u27s findings are derived from estimated performance.KEY FINDINGSOn average, Green Star certified buildings produce 62% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than average Australian buildings.On average, Green Star certified buildings produce 45% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than if they had been built to meet minimum industry requirements.On average, Green Star certified buildings use 66% less electricity than average Australian buildings.On average, Green Star certified buildings use 50% less electricity than if they had been built to meet minimum industry requirements.On average, Green Star buildings use 51% less potable water than average buildings.The cumulative savings in green house gas emissions from Green Star certified buildings equates to 172,000 cars removed from our roads, when compared to average Australian building ␣ that is 625,000 tonnes CO2 per annum.Green Star certified buildings save enough potable water to fill more than 1,300 Olympic swimming pools every year, that is, over 3,300,000 kL per annum.On average, Green Star As Built certified buildings recycled 96% of their construction and demolition waste.Since Green Star\u27s introduction to the market in 2003, more than 5.5 million square metres of building area have been Green Star certified.Green Star certified buildings save the equivalent of 76,000 average households\u27 electricity use annually.37,600 truckloads of construction and demolition waste has been diverted from landfill due to good waste management practices when constructing Green Star certified buildings.The higher the Green Star certified rating of a building (4, 5 or 6 star) the greater the environmental savings across all key areas ␣ greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water consumption, and construction and demolition waste

Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points
No full textThis paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given

climate emergency, and those challenged by the slowness with which the generation
with the power (my own) are addressing the huge challenges that are ever more
evidently unfolding on our planet

Metrics of green chemistry: Waste minimization
No full textThe increasingly apparent negative impact of human activities on the environment has heightened the urgency for the chemistry community to adopt greener and more sustainable practices. The E-factor can still be considered a valuable tool in this drive, particularly because of its broad acceptance and familiarity amongst both industrial and academic chemists. An important factor in broadening the adoption of green principles is ensuring that the academics responsible for training the next generation of chemists prioritise green and sustainable practices in their undergraduate and post graduate laboratories. Green metrics must be easy to use to motivate the broader chemistry community to develop greener syntheses. For maximum impact to be achieved the detail of the exact green metrics applied are less important than their adoption by the broader chemical community. Of growing importance is the replacement of fossil resources with renewable alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emission that is a significant driver of climate change. The C factor is used to compare the carbon footprints of different routes to a particular product.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.BT/Biocatalysi
